Hooray! Orange People Who Don't Talk Much At The Zoo!

     The Orangutang Center at the Indianapolis Zoo is nearing completion and it's going to have a beacon on the roof that the orangutangs can control -- at least to the extent of turning it on and off and changing the hue.  One hopes the designers have set things up so the orangs can see it.

     Druther leave 'em t'home but in the wild, they're at some risk these days.  The little colony here is something of a lifeboat, a sort of outpost.  It's certainly one of the most fun-looking apartment buildings downtown.  I hope we can make our vistors comfortable.

  2. "Orang" = "people" in Malay OrangUtan = forest people. Or Woodsmen, perhaps.

  5. On the plus side we have, what, Every Which Way but Loose, and even there Clyde was only kept in check by Alpha Male Clint Eastwood

    On the Con side? The aforementioned Rue-murderer and Dr. Zaius.
